DFSD - Single-file Scientific Data Interface

   
Appends a scientific dataset in its entirety to an existing HDF file if the file exists. If not, a new file is created.
Clears all values set by DFSDset* routines.
Terminates a sequence of slab calls started by DFSDstartslab by closing the file.
Terminates the write operation after storing a slice of data in a scientific dataset.
Retrieves the calibration record, if there is one, attached to a scientific dataset.
Reads the next dataset in the file.
Retrieves the lengths of the label, unit, format, and coordinate system strings.
Retrieves information about the label, unit, and format attribute strings associated with the data.
Retrieves the length of the label, unit, and format attribute strings associated with the specified dimension.
Retrieves the number of dimensions (rank) of the dataset and the sizes of the dimensions (dimsizes) for the next scientific dataset in the file.
Gets the scale corresponding to the specified dimension.
Retrieves the label, unit, and format attribute strings corresponding to the specified dimension.
Retrieves the fill value of a DFSD scientific dataset.
Retrieves the data type of the next dataset to be read.
Retrieves the maximum and minimum values stored with the scientific dataset.
Reads part of a scientific dataset from a file.
Retrieves the most recent reference number used in writing or reading a scientific dataset.
Returns the number of scientific datasets in the file.
Tests if the scientific dataset with the specified reference number was created by an HDF library earlier than version 3.2.
Writes a scientific data and related information to an HDF file.
Writes part of a scientific dataset to a file.
Specifies the reference number for the dataset to be read during the next read operation.
Reads a slab of data from any scientific dataset.
Causes the next read command to be read from the first scientific dataset in the file, rather than the scientific dataset following the one that was most recently read.
Sets the calibration information associated with data
Sets the label, unit, format, and coordinate system for the next dataset written to file.
Sets the rank and dimension sizes for all subsequent scientific datasets written to the file.
Defines the scale for a dimension.
Sets the label, unit, and format strings corresponding to the specified dimension.
Set the value used to fill in any unwritten location in a scientific dataset.
Sets the maximum lengths for the strings that will hold labels, units, formats, and the name of the coordinate system.
Sets the data type of the data to be written in the next write operation.
Stores the specified maximum and minimum data values.
Prepares the DFSD interface to write a slab of data to a scientific dataset.
Prepares the interface to write a data slice to the specified file.
Specifies the reference number, ref, of the dataset to be overwritten next by DFSDputdata or DFSDadddata
Writes a slab of data to a scientific dataset.
